In fresh trouble for Bhagwant Mann, the AAP's Sangrur MP was on September 03, 2016 booked along with some of his party activists by Punjab Police on a complaint alleging that they had misbehaved with mediapersons at a rally in Bassi Pathana.

The Aam Aadmi Party on August 04, 2016 released the first list of 19 candidates for the upcoming assembly elections in Punjab, while naming the controversial leader Bhagwant Mann as the head of campaign committee.

Bhagwant Mann, the Aam Aadmi Party MP who kicked off a controversy by live streaming the security arrangements at the Parliament, should be sent to a rehab centre for drug and alcohol de-addiction, some of his Lok Sabha colleagues have suggested.

AAP MP Bhagwant Mann apologized to the Lok Sabha (LS) speaker on Friday afternoon for his security-breaching Parliament video, but the Speaker said "this issue isn't something that can be resolved by a mere apology", ANI reported.

Several opposition members, including Sushmita Dev and Abhijit Mukherjee of Congress and AAP's Bhagwant Mann, rushed towards the speaker raising anti-government slogans. They massed there shouting slogans like "Stop killing democracy" and "Murder of democracy will not be accepted". When the Speaker allowed the question hour to go on, some members squatted at the spot. Questions related to as many as five ministries including petroleum, labour, tourism and commerce were taken up.
